Version: 0.9.31-bp155.1.8
* Sat Jan 28 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 0.9.31:
* Fixed a off-by-one rounding error on MIDI clip offset and lengths
that were leaving some clips unlinked on load.
* LXVST_PATH environment variable now accrues to VST_PATH for Linux-
native VST2 plug-ins search path and not taking over in precedence
anymore.

* Plugin latency/delay compensation now in effect immediately after
changing track option (cf. Track/Properties... /Plugins/Latency
compensation).
* Shade-off regions not-in-view from the thumb-views.
* Improved MIDI queue time drift correction resilience and stability
against in-flight tempo changes.
* The main real-time process cycle now runs on uniform block-sizes,
in strides of 64 frames per period, meaning a higher resolution
automation, independent of buffer-size.
* The internal main MIDI engine gets its ALSA sequencer queue to a
higher resolution (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat) and not subordinated
to the current session's anymore.
* Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support is hopefuly
fixed, once again.
* Better discriminate CLAP Plug-in specific note events and strict
MIDI dialect event processing.
* Sat Oct 15 2022 Christophe Giboudeaux <christophe@krop.fr>

note line on main view (piano-roll eye-candy++); also, the white
keys on MIDI clip editor's virtual piano keyboard, are now fully
highlighted.

- Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options
is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
- Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain
property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date).

avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those
kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally.
- Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well,
for optional file type and format selection.

first by default on top to libsuil.
- Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest
options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
- Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6.
- Fixed MIDI tracks export that were missing the end-of-export tail

* Track / Duplicate Track... now also takes a MIDI track's audio
meters setting into account.

main track-list (left pane) is now possible, allowing for yet
another quick means to open a new session or add new tracks to
the current session.

avoid missing inbound events, when play-head is near the loop
end point and the loop-start is set below the absolute first
half-a-second (<0.5sec).

option is now set initially off by default.
- All tempo and time-signature labels are now displayed
with one decimal digit, as it was in mostly everywhere
else but the time ruler/scale headers.
- JACK transport tempo and time-signature changes are now
accepted, even though playback is not currently rolling;
also, changing (JACK) Timebase master setting (cf.View/
Options.../General/Transport/Timebase) will take effect
immediately, not needing nor warning for session restart
anymore.
- Track/Navigate/Next and Previous menu commands, finally
fixed to wrap around the current track list.
- Current session (JACK) transport mode option switching is
now being made accessible, from the main menu and drop-down
toolbar buttons, as well as user configurable PC-keyboard
and/or MIDI controller shortcuts (cf. Transport/Mode/None,
Slave, Master, Full).

waveform re-generation routine, as much to avoid empty,
blank, zero or negative-width faulty renderings.
- Do not reset the Files tree-view widgets anymore, when
leaving any drag-and-drop operation (annoyingly, all
groups and sub-groups were being closed without appeal).
- Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of

converted to and from the base ASCII/Latin-1 encoding, as much to
prevent invalid SMF whenever non-Latin-1 UTF-8 encoded MIDI track
names are given.
* MIDI file tempo-map and location markers import/export is now
hopefully corrected, after almost a decade in mistake, regarding
MIDI resolution conversion, when different than current
session's setting (TPQN, ticks-per-quarter-note aka.
ticks-per-beat, etc.)
* Introducing LV2 UI Show interface support for other types than
Qt, Gtk, X11 and lv2_external_ui.
* Prevent any visual updates while exporting (freewheeling) audio
tracks that have at least one plugin activate state automation
enabled for playback (as much for not showing messages like
"QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QVector'"
... anymore).
* The common buses management dialog (View/Buses...) sees the
superfluous Refresh button finally removed, while two new button
commands take its place: (move) Up and Down.
* LV2 plug-in Patch support has been added and LV2 plug-ins
parameter properties manipulation is now accessible on the
generic plug-in properties dialog.

- update to 0.7.7
- LV2 UI Touch feature/interface support added.
- MIDI aware plug-ins are now void from multiple or parallel
instantiation.

- update to 0.7.5
- Beat unit divisor, aka. the denominator or lower numeral in the
time-signature, have now a visible and practical effect over
the time-line, even though the standard MIDI tempo(BPM) is
always denoted in beats as quarter-notes (1/4, crotchet,
seminima) per minute.
- Fixed an old hack on LV2 State Files abstract/relative
file-path mapping when saving custom LV2 Presets (after a
related issue on Fabla2, by Harry Van Haaren, thanks).
- Default PC-Keyboard shortcuts may now be erasable and re-
assigned (cf. Help/Shortcuts...).
- New option on the audio/MIDI export dialog, on whether to
add/import the exported result as brand new track(s).
- Introducing brand new track icons property.
- Old Dry/Wet Insert and Aux-send pseudo-plugin parameters are
now split into separate Dry and Wet controls, what else could
it possibly be? :)
- Brand new MIDI Insert and Aux-Send pseudo-plugins are now
implemented with very similar semantics as the respective and
existing audio counterparts.
- Implement LV2_STATE__loadDefaultState feature (after pull
request by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, thanks).
- Plug-ins search paths internal logic has been refactored; an
alternative file-name based search is now in effect for LADSPA,
DSSI and VST plug-ins, whenever not found on their original
file-path locations saved in a previous session.
- Finally added this brand new menu Clip/Cross Fade command,
aimed on setting fade-in/out ranges properly, just as far to
(auto)cross-fade consecutive overlapping clips.

"catch-up" default behavior (cf. View/Controllers.../Sync).
- Fixed some track control issues related to MIDI Controllers
generic mapping (cf. View/Controllers...).
- Try making Help/Shortcuts... dialog window modeless, as far as
under MIDI Controller, Inputs/Outputs Connections window also
gets accessible enough.
- Fixed some vertical scrolling and play-head line re-drawing
glitches introduced by the recent unlimited slack to editing
beyond current contents length on main tracks view.
- Added one decimal digit to the Pitch-shift spin-box on audio
Clip/Edit... properties dialog window.
- Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
- Fixed local keyboard shortcuts on the Files organizer widget

now make it spill over and replicate as many clip clones as it
fits in the left or right horizontal extent.
- Added View/Note Type and Value Type command menus to the MIDI
clip editor (aka. piano-roll) which opens the possibility for
discrete shortcuts to switching views eg. Note Velocity and
Controller views (after a kind request by yubatake, thanks).
- Fixed the conversion and/or override of MIDI clip offsets when
moving and copy/pasting across tempo/time-signature changes.
- Fixed MIDI file track/channel duration estimator, which was
giving quite wrong and way too short reads.

tracks were being inserted at the top and not to the bottom as
is normally indicated by the floating visual placeholder.
- Fixed LV2UI_Resize handle from extension_data(LV2_UI__resize),
now passing LV2UI_Handle in first argument to ui_resize(), as
found correct and needed for resizable/scaleable LV2 UI's, most
specially to ssj71's so called Infamous Plugins, thanks.

- Non-continuous MIDI Controllers now have their Hook and Latch
options disabled as those are found not applicable,
- As an alternative to PC-keyboard shortcuts, MIDI controllers
are now also assignable and configurable for any of the main
menu command actions, all from the same old configuration
dialog (Help/Shortcuts...).
- Fixed missing Track and Clip sub-menus from Edit/context-menu
that were found AWOL ever since after the Lazy Tachyon beta
release (> 0.6.6).
- An off-by-one bar position (as in BBT, bar, beat and ticks)
has been purportedly fixed as long as LV2 Time/Position atom
event transfer goes.
- French (fr) translation line to desktop file added (patch by
Olivier Humbert, thanks).
- A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
sub-routine is now in effect.
- Improved MIDI clip editor resilience across tempo and time-
signature changes.
- Keyboard shortcuts configuration (Help/Shortcuts...) now
lists complete menu/action path where available.
- Fixed in-flight VST plugin editor (GUI) resizing.
- Added support to LV2UI_portMap extension, found really handy
for the cases where you have multiple plugins with different
port configurations and a single common UI to drive them all
(pull request by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, thanks).

with thicker connector lines.
* Fixing segfaults due to QClipboard::mimeData() returning an

GUI editor, on whether to skip the explicit shared library
unloading on close and thus avoid some mysterious crashes
on session and/or application exit.
* Force reset of plugin selection list when any of the plugin
search paths change (in View/Options.../Plugins/Paths).
* Recursive VST plugin search is now in effect for inventory
and discovery on path sub-directories (VST only).
* Non-dummy scannig for regular VST, non-shell plugins, were
doomed to infinite-loop freezes on discovery, now fixed.
- changes from 0.6.5:
* Connections lines now drawn with anti-aliasing; connections
splitter handles width is now reduced; the MIDI connections
splitter pane sizes are now saved and restored properly.
* Extended multi-selection is now featured on the track-list
(main left-pane), primarily allowing for group mute/solo
(and monitor) switching.
* Track-list (left pane) header column widths are now saved
and made persistent across application power cycle (double
- click reverts to the old original default).
* Minor fixes on the MIDI clip event list editor, also making
sure the current event is visible on the piano-roll view.
* As long to prevent asynchronous mistakes to JACK transport
state changes, an internal slack-delay is now introduced
after self-initiated transport commands (eg. start/stop).
* The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) was missing to
clear or reset the current selection when no shift/ctrl
keyboard modifier is in effect.

* Current assigned track/channel instrument definition
names for MIDI controllers, note keys, RPN and NRPN,
are now in effect on the MIDI clip editor drop-down

* Make the mouse-wheel to scroll the plugin list views, when
not hovering a direct-access parameter slider.
* Mixer widget gets (un)dockable Inputs and Outputs panels,
also with their respective title captions.
* Plugin instantiation is now constrained as much to prevent
any audio channel output overriding.
* Existing plugin presets may now be selected right(-click)
from plugin list context-menu (ticket by Harry van Haaren,
thanks).
* So-called "painting" over multiple selected event values,
while on the MIDI clip editor view pane below the main
piano-roll (eg. note velocities, controller values, etc.)
is now split into two similar painting modes, whether the
sub-menu Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw is set on (free-hand)
or off (linear).
* Drag-and-copy of plug-in instances across tracks or buses
(ie. cloning) now also copies the direct access parameter
setting (ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks).
* File/Save As... now prompts and suggests an incremental
backup name for existing sessions files.
* Zooming in/out increment is now augmented by whether shift
/ctrl keyboard modifiers are set (on a ticket request by
Holger Marzen, thanks).
* LV2 Time position event messages for plugin atom ports that
support it is now being implemented.
* Attempt to break extremely long audio file peak generation
on session close or program exit (as reported by EternalX,
thanks again).

as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
* Automation curve node editing has been slightly improved
in regard to time positioning and resolution.
- changes from 0.6.2
* Prevent linear and spline automation curve modes for all
integer valued subjects. Also, make sure those values are
rounded to the nearest integer away from zero.
* Fixed save of LV2 Presets for plugins with state files.
* A man page has beed added (making up Gürkan Sengün's work
on debian, thanks).
* When moving plugins by eg. drag-and-dropping across tracks,
automation curves were being left behind, maybe leading to
unpredictable mistaken behavior. Hopefully, not anymore.
* Translations install directory change.
* Automation curves are now automatically re-adjusted to tempo
map node changes (after a ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks).
* Audio/MIDI files or plugins found missing on session load
are now subject for an explicit modal warning message and
prompt for an immediate session backup salvage.
* Changing instrument plugin programs is now an undo/redo-able
command operation, especially for DSSI but also for plugins
that come with the LV2 Programs interface extension support
(http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ns/lv2ext/programs).
* Drawing, selecting and/or resizing of MIDI note events that
extend across tempo/time-signature changes is now made a bit
more correctly over the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll),
especially regarding to current snap-to-beat setting (after
an outstanding ticket by yubatake, thanks).
* Once again, audio frame/MIDI time drift correction has been
slightly refactored to improve MIDI input monitor and timing.
* Discrete automation curve node values may now be edited via
a numerical entry floating spin-box on double-click (as yet
another request by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
* Pressing shift/ctrl keyboard modifiers while double-clicking
on a plugin list entry now briefly reverses the current View
/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Open plugin's editor (GUI) by
default option preference.
* Fixed an old crash lurker when switching output buses that
implied a change on the number of audio channels, while on
tracks that have (auto-)monitor turned on and at least one
active plugin in chain (yet another ticket by AutoStatic
aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
* MIDI Controller assignment (aka MIDI learn) and/or automation
of plugins (de)activation state has been added (as requested
by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
* LV2 UI Idle and Show interfaces support added.
* Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS
(patch by Alessio Treglia aka. quadrispro, thanks).
- changes from 0.6.1
* New user preference option added as View/Options.../Display
/Transport/Hold auto-scrolling (follow play-head) on edits
(after requests by Holger Marzen and Louigi Verona, thanks).
* All color chooser dialogs were missing proper titles.
* Audio peak file re-generation and clean-up has been hopefully
fixed and cache optimized (re. drawing audio clip waveforms).
* Fixed initial session snap-per-beat setting on main toolbar.
* Clip/Export...'ed files are now made persistent, no questions
asked (after a ticket by Oliver Kester, thanks).
* Portuguese (pt) translation added (by Esteban Viveros, thanks).
- changes from 0.6.0
* New user option added: on whether to save plugins automation
values with higher resolution as possible, using 14-bit NRPN:
cf. View/Options.../Plugins/Experimental/High resolution
plugin automation (default=off).
* Generic native plugin dialogs now shows an additional "About"
last page where authorship credits are due.
* A new user preference option is now in place for whether to
use desktop environment's own native file requester/browser
dialogs (View/Options.../Display/Dialogs/Use native dialogs).
* A bit of slack have been introduced to put "Follow Playhead"
(aka. auto-scroll view mode) on hold, while doing in-flight
selection edit moves.
* Fixed some user interface related annoyances while on the MIDI
Controllers mappings (ie. View/Controllers...).
* Fixed port origin on MIDI RPN/NRPN 14-bit controllers input.
* A discretionary plug-in unique identifier have been devised for
when more than one from the same type are inserted on a bus or
track chain, avoiding destructive clashing of automation data.
* Horizontal scrolling shift+mouse-wheel direction now reversed.
* LV2 Dyn(amic)-manifest support is now optional (default=off);
cf. View/Options.../Plugins/Experimental/LV2 Dynamic Manifest
support).
* The following options, although decieved on View/Options... as
global configuration options, were always and still are proper
session instance properties: (JACK) Transport mode, MMC mode,
MMC device, MIDI SPP and MIDI Clock modes, are now shown there
reflecting the current open session state.
* A couple of run-time circumventions have been hacked in, both
strictly related to when NSM session management is in charge:
1) the new session template feature is disabled (was aborting
initial NSM new client additions); 2) the native (as from the
desktop environment eg. KDE) file browser/requester dialogs are
disabled (were taking too long to list the current directory on
first time invocation).
* Update current automation/curve nodes selection while changing
horizontal (time axis) zoom levels.
* One liner's attempt to make it consistent behaviour on resizing
and moving multiple selected notes or events while on the MIDI
clip editor (aka. piano-roll; after a ticket request from Daniel
MacDonald aka. danboid, thanks).
* Introducing tiny quarter-note/crotchet/seminima/beat icon on all
snap-to-beat selection items get a new icon :).
* Corrected some audio buffering boundary conditions that were
causing dead-loops/freezes while merging some audio clips.
* Session auto-save period was chronically reduced to one third
of its user setting; non critical but fixed now.
